Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hernia meshes are used to reduce recurrence and pain rates, but the rates are still high. This could be improved with coatings of the mesh. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of mesh coatings used to promote healing in abdominal hernia repair and to report beneficial and unbeneficial effects. METHODS We included human and animal studies with abdominal hernias that were repaired with non-commercially coated meshes. We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central, LILACS, and CNKI without language constraints. RESULTS Of 2933 identified studies, 58 were included: six studies had a total of 408 humans and 52 studies had 2679 animals. The median follow-up was 12 months (range 1-156), and 95% of the hernias were incisional. There were 44 different coatings which included platelet-rich plasma, mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, vitamin E, collagen-derived products, various polysaccharides, silk proteins, chitosan, gentamycin, doxycycline, nitrofurantoin, titanium, and diamond-like carbon. Mesenchymal stem cells and platelet-rich plasma were the most researched. Mesenchymal stem cells notably reduced inflammation and foreign body reactions but did not impact other healing metrics. In contrast, platelet-rich plasma positively influenced tissue ingrowth, collagen deposition, and neovascularization and had varying effects on inflammation and foreign body reactions. CONCLUSION We identified 44 different mesh coatings and they showed varying results. Mesenchymal stem cells and platelet-rich plasma were the most studied, with the latter showing considerable promise in improving biomechanical properties in hernia repair. Further investigations are needed to ascertain their definitive use in humans.

[PMID: 37455815 PMCID: PMC10339210 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Hernia reconstruction is one of the most frequently practiced surgical procedures worldwide. Plastic surgery plays a pivotal role in reestablishing desired abdominal wall structure and function without the drawbacks traditionally associated with general surgery as excessive tension, postoperative pain, poor repair outcomes, and frequent recurrence. Surgical meshes have been the preferential choice for abdominal wall hernia repair to achieve the physical integrity and equivalent components of musculofascial layers. Despite the relevant progress in recent years, there are still unsolved challenges in surgical mesh design and complication settlement. This review provides a systemic summary of the hernia surgical mesh development deeply related to abdominal wall hernia pathology and classification. Commercial meshes, the first-generation prosthetic materials, and the most commonly used repair materials in the clinic are described in detail, addressing constrain side effects and rational strategies to establish characteristics of ideal hernia repair meshes. The engineered prosthetics are defined as a transit to the biomimetic smart hernia repair scaffolds with specific advantages and disadvantages, including hydrogel scaffolds, electrospinning membranes, and three-dimensional patches. Lastly, this review critically outlines the future research direction for successful hernia repair solutions by combing state-of-the-art techniques and materials.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive structural proteins are emerging as promising biocompatible materials for a wide range of biological and nonbiological applications. To understand the physical properties of structural proteins and to replicate their performance in biosynthetic systems, there is a need to understand the molecular mechanisms and relationships that regulate their structure, dynamics, and properties. Here, we study the dynamics of a recombinant squid-inspired protein from Loligo vulgaris (Lv18) by elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) to understand the connection between nanostructure, chain dynamics, and mechanical properties. Lv18 is a semicrystalline structural protein, which is plasticized by water above its glass transition temperature at 35 °C. Elastic scans revealed an increased protein chain mobility upon hydration, superimposed dynamic processes, and a decrease in dynamic transition temperatures. Further analysis by QENS revealed that while dry Lv18 protein dynamics are dominated by localized methyl group rotations, hydrated Lv18 dynamics are dominated by the confined diffusion of flexible chains within a β-sheet nanocrystalline network (8 Å of confinement radius). Our findings establish a relationship between the segment block architecture of Lv18, the diffusive motions within the protein structure, and the mechanical properties of recombinant squid proteins, which will advance the molecular design of novel high-performance protein-inspired materials with tailored dynamics and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Meshes have been the overwhelmingly popular choice for the repair of abdominal wall defects to retrieve the bodily integrity of musculofascial layer. Broadly, they are classified into synthetic, biological and composite mesh based on their mechanical and biocompatible features. With the development of anatomical repair techniques and the increasing requirements of constructive remodeling, however, none of these options satisfactorily manages the conditional repair. In both preclinical and clinical studies, materials/agents equipped with distinct functions have been characterized and applied to improve mesh-aided repair, with the importance of mesh functionalization being highlighted. However, limited information exists on systemic comparisons of the underlying mechanisms with respect to functionalized strategies, which are fundamental throughout repair and regeneration. Herein, we address this topic and summarize the current literature by subdividing common functions of the mesh into biomechanics-matched, macrophage-mediated, integration-enhanced, anti-infective and antiadhesive characteristics for a comprehensive overview. In particular, we elaborate their effects separately with respect to host response and integration and discuss their respective advances, challenges and future directions toward a clinical alternative. From the vastly different approaches, we provide insight into the mechanisms involved and offer suggestions for personalized modifications of these emerging meshes.

Abstract
A diversity of self-propelled chemical motors, based on Marangoni propulsive forces, has been developed in recent years. However, most motors are non-functional due to poor performance, a lack of control, and the use of toxic materials. To overcome these limitations, we have developed multifunctional and biodegradable self-propelled motors from squid-derived proteins and an anesthetic metabolite. The protein motors surpass previous reports in performance output and efficiency by several orders of magnitude, and they offer control of their propulsion modes, speed, mobility lifetime, and directionality by regulating the protein nanostructure via local and external stimuli, resulting in programmable and complex locomotion. We demonstrate diverse functionalities of these motors in environmental remediation, microrobot powering, and cargo delivery applications. These versatile and degradable protein motors enable design, control, and actuation strategies in microrobotics as modular propulsion sources for autonomous minimally invasive medical operations in biological environments with air-liquid interfaces.

Abstract
Production of repetitive polypeptides that comprise one or more tandem copies of a single unit with distinct amorphous and ordered regions have been an interest for the last couple of decades. Their molecular structure provides a rich architecture that can micro-phase-separate to form periodic nanostructures (e.g., lamellar and cylindrical repeating phases) with enhanced physicochemical properties via directed or natural evolution that often exceed those of conventional synthetic polymers. Here, we review programmable design, structure, and properties of functional fibers and films from squid-inspired tandem repeat proteins, with applications in soft photonics and advanced textiles among others.
